Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

Dated disorganized mess of a company. Stuck in the past paradigm of working people as hard as possible and paying as little as possible. Rampant discrimination and sexism are supported and ignored. Management has little industry experience. Tons of micromanagement. No sick days. You have to take vacation days if you get ill. Poor, dirty studio with dated equipment. Low meal to die to toxic work environment. Misogyny and all types of discrimination are ignored. Chastised for taking a reasonable number of bathroom breaks. Culture has absolutely no vibes but old and dingy. Implored a tracking system to follow employees every move. Can’t think of a wise place to work. Expect you to work constantly and don’t respect work life balance. Hugely disappointed.

Pros

Having worked in agencies for 20+ years, I must say, I have learned more and have done more at Quad than any other workplace. Hybrid, workplace and remote options available. Great bosses and very accommodating should personal problems arise, be it a health or family issue. I really think the pay was pretty fair for the tasks I did as a production artist. Weekly meetings were great for boss/peer engagement and input. Much was learned during these pow-wows. Management instilled a work/life balance for the most part.

Cons

Lots of company required compliance tests and quizzes became tiresome, alas— it's what big companies require these days.
